Lifeless Chptr. 8
“I see.” Bette finally sat back and Tina went right back to staring out the window. Every now and again she’d see a kid roll past her house, or someone in an overtly huge SUV on a cell phone and drinking coffee, and she’d laugh to herself, because nine times out of ten that would be her. But now it all seemed so far away from where she was now. The closest she’d gotten to rollerblading was walking up and down the blocks with Bette and she couldn’t drive her sports car anymore and now-a-days her drink of choice was pomegranate green tea. It still amazed her how her life had changed seemingly over night. These overwhelming thoughts indeed deserved some time for reflection, she was grateful to have a friend like Bette that understood and allowed her the time to do so.
……………………………….
It was Bette’s day off and she’d told Tina to come on by during lunch so she could cook for her and they could enjoy a meal before Bette buried herself back into her work. Normally Bette would go a day or two without eating, simply because she submerged herself into another mindset where her own well being was second to last on her list. But yesterday while on the phone with Tina answering one of her many, and sometimes irrational questions, she’d heard Tina say that around 12 or 1 she liked to eat a light lunch so she could move the rest of the day. Bette smiled and thought that out all of her patients Tina was surely the most active, there wasn’t much that caused her to keep still.
“You know every time I come to your house your stereo is on, I have never once seen your television on. I’m starting to think you bought a shell just to cover up something.”
“It works.” She laughingly answered. Bette came out of her kitchen with a towel slung over her shoulders smiling, she’d worn a linen French blue button down shirt and some pale blue jeans with a soft sole shoe. Even in her ‘relaxed’ clothes at home Bette’s appearance was well kempt and seemed effortlessly thrown together. Bette picked up her remote and switched on the TV and not surprisingly the channel that was on the TV was her satellite station belting out more jazz.

“Yea, Bette says it’s good for me and the baby. She says there’s no reason I can’t stay fit during my pregnancy.” – nice to have Dr. Porter on call… hope the next appt. is soon ;-)
Hey, thank you for sharing. Will be awaiting your next updates. Love this story
Thanks for the post. Alice and Tasha need to lighten up and give Bette a chance.
I’ve been looking for an update to this story, then you provide two! Alice and Tasha’s suspicions and worries are coming from a place of love, but I haven’t seen any cause for concern. Bette’s friendship seems to be having a positive influence on Tina, and that can’t be a bad thing. Thanks for the double posts. :)
So happy to see you back posting. Congrats on the new job! Two fantastic chapters. I love the friendship you’ve developed with Bette and Tina. For different reasons, it’s exactly what they both need. Can’t wait for your next chapter.

Thanks so much for these updates. I was really missing this story. It’s so good to see Tina returning to life…smiling and laughing. I hope Alice and Tasha don’t discourage her from having this friendship with Bette.
alice and tasha need to get a grip… tina is a big girl and for now her and bette are just friends.. love this story… pps
I would say that Tina talks to Doctor Porter quite often but Bette even more so.

It is so good to see this story again! Thank you for writing it.
Thanks for the updates. Love this story. Alice and Tasha should be happy that Tina has another focus and isn’t quite as depressed as she was before meeting Bette. Bette’s friendship has had a very positive affect on Tina and that is just great. They get along well and the friendship is developing beyond that of doctor and patient. Excellent idea. Thanks for posting.
Very good!
